Hi again, so now I have a different problem (just with the GraphicsRules file). It's not so bad, but when I'm in game, the shadows looks really nice when they are close to me but really bad/pixelated/jagged when far away. The original game settings has it so the shadows get blurry as it gets farther from the player. Is there anyway I can have the high quality shadows AND the shadows getting a little blurry at a distance? Thank you <3

Sorry for the late reply, I can’t do anything about the shadows unfortunately. This is just the way the game works

Shadows have 3 ‘cascading’ levels. The first is the closest to the camera and this is the only level I can change with shadow quality. The next is a low quality version of the shadows and the last is even lower quality but I have no control over these

This is true without the overhaul but the lower quality for the first level means the other 2 don’t look as noticeably different

Its the one thing I notice all the time as well, that jarring line where the different cascade levels meet, they really should have blended the edges together. This is only something that can be done by editing the game core which only the developers have access to unfortunately. Even just being able to push the line back would make a huge difference

Hello! First I wanted to thank you for your GraphicRules file, it's amazing! And then I wanted to ask you how can I remove this little transparent box at the top left of the screen, which appears to me when I use reshade and the DOF setting is on? Thank you.

I’m so sorry for the late reply 😅 I don’t use Tumblr much I find it confusing lol. The box isn’t anything to do with the overhaul I don’t think, it started happening with an update to the game a good few months ago. I will double check the code and do some testing but I don’t think the 2 are related

Hi there! I am using your overhauls but I am having trouble with the nvidia profile inspector profiles. I have 8 gb in vram, but when I use ULTRA I get 25 fps at the lowest, with BALANCED+ I get 45fps at the lowest, and with BALANCED and PERFORMANCE I get 48 fps at the lowest. The default profile gives me 58 fps at the lowest. Is this normal? Is it my monitor that it the problem? I have a 60hz monitor. Thank you, and I hope this problem can be fixed.

Hey! The Nvidia Profiles will use a lot of FPS, especially the Ultra one. But the Performance profile should be faster than default, or at least more stable. With 8GB of VRAM you should be getting much more than 60fps though

Hey I installed tonight your SGR Graphic Rules Settings. But I seem to have now an issue with DOF Settings. I used an effect by OKRUE "Kaleidoscope" That worked before I put your File with DOF and now I cannot get the DOF Effect with Reshade working. It's clear I mean it's nice and all but not the effect I wanted to have with reshade. I guess if this cannot be fixed I need to repair my game as I forgot to make a backup of my Graphic Rule File. Or did I do something wrong?🤔

Hey just make sure you turn off edge smoothing in your game options and your dof will work. I use ReShade with the file all the time no issue

Yo uninstall the file just delete it from your ConfigOverride folder. No need to repair the game

These look amazing!! 🤩🤩

My entry for @isimp4sims's challenge on Twitter. My game looks so dull now without it! Look at those amazing entries ♥

Thanks @moxhollow 🤓 I’m already working on the next preset!!

Heads up!

The wonderful @isimp4sims​ who made that one graphics overhaul we’re all in love with, is running a challenge with their new reshade preset :)

i couldn't get the before picture but usually in my game when i zoom in on a sim's face the mxao shows up greyed out like above except now its orange? it's been overall fine besides that

Not sure on this. It can’t be the file 🤔 like from a technical perspective it’s just not possible

To me it looks like your MXAO shader has a lot of Indirect Lighting to it. Either remove the IL, turn down the intensity or change the saturation of it

[isimp4sims]

oh hey I wasnt sure where to message you but i noticed when I put in the overhaul rules file I noticed either mxao or the lighting when reshade is on make it orange with a glowy effect so im not why it's doing that

Hey! Best place would probably be to message me on Twitter. You will get a quicker reply. I will check tumblr more often

Could you give me a screenshots of before and after the file? There is no reason it should affect colour of MXAO

BLUSH 

reshade preset for Reshade 4.9.1.

So happy to share this collaboration with Simp4Sims. We created a beautiful preset that is light and bright, with a touch of pink. 

It’s light enough not affect gameplay - I needed that to be able to record videos with no issues, it’s very smooth and makes your game look amazing. 

Bundled with Amoebae’s LUT, very special thank you for letting us include it, you have the ability to completely switch up the look of a scene for some moods and vibes in screen shots/recordings!

Simp4Sims Overhauls

A few months back I started working on editing the GraphicsRules.sgr file which controls the settings in the Sims 4 game options. This was personal use and I never really intended to release it to the public, but it turned out so well I just had to share! Jump forward to today and I’ve managed to put together a handful of useful Overhauls and Tutorials, free to the public on Patreon!

While my posts are free for everyone, certain things will be released as early access. It takes a lot of time and testing to get these overhauls ready for release so any support is greatly appreciated!

I’ll make individual posts but here is a master list for easy navigating:

Simp4Sims Overhaul 01 - Sims Graphics Rules

Simp4Sims Overhaul 02 - Nvidia Profile Inspector

Simp4Sims Overhaul 05 - Cache Cleaner

Simp4Sims Overhaul 06 (pt.1) - Process Lasso

Consider becoming a Patron if you like the Overhauls!

There will be a lot more to come in the near future including a handful of ReShade presets. Such as the Early Access Blush - SummerrPlays ReShade Preset that was made in collaboration with content creator SummerrPlays
